## SYNOPSIS

- **#include \<libmemcached/memcached.h\>**

  Compile and link with -lmemcached

- **memcached\_return\_t \<#\_CPPv418memcached\_return\_t\> memcached\_verbosity(memcached\_st \<#\_CPPv412memcached\_st\> \*ptr, uint32\_t verbosity)**

  - **Parameters**

    - •

      **ptr** -- pointer to initialized **memcached\_st** \<#\_CPPv412memcached\_st\> struct

    - •

      **verbosity** -- level of verbosity

  - **Returns**

    **memcached\_return\_t** \<#\_CPPv418memcached\_return\_t\> indicating success

## DESCRIPTION

**memcached\_verbosity()** modifies the "verbosity" of the **[memcached(1)](/memcached/1.md) \<https://linux.die.net/man/1/memcached\>** servers referenced in the **memcached\_st** \<#\_CPPv412memcached\_st\> parameter.

## RETURN VALUE

A value of type **memcached\_return\_t** \<#\_CPPv418memcached\_return\_t\> is returned.

On success that value will be **MEMCACHED\_SUCCESS** \<#\_CPPv4N18memcached\_return\_t17MEMCACHED\_SUCCESSE\>.

Use **memcached\_strerror()** \<#\_CPPv418memcached\_strerrorP12memcached\_st18memcached\_return\_t\> to translate this value to a printable string.
